does this keep dogs from biting their feet?

If you purchase the correct size (go to the Comfy Cone website to see how to properly measure) your dog should not be able to reach anything - including its paws. I bought mine for my Black Lab who has issues with his paws and it stopped his constant licking. Good Luck!

We bought this cone (Small 12.5 cm) for our miniature poodle puppy who weighs 6 pounds. It was not long enough to prevent him from biting his feet. We then purchased the "Small-Long" size of the Comfy Collar which was long enough. However, I do not recommend the Comfy Collar design because of the frightening velcro sounds, claustrophobic sides collapsing against the ears, and fabric picking up muck in the yard that is not as easy to clean as the plastic cone models.

Well, your dog will have a hard time getting to its paws. I have a smallish dog with short legs and while she did try to lick her paws, the collar would get in the way. I imagine that even if you had a big , strong dog, it would still be difficult since the collar (while soft) is not as flexible as it may look. The trick is making sure the collar is large enough to fit beyond the dogs nose.

Possibly, if you had a short leg breed like dachound or Corgi it might work. If you had a dog with longer legs like a lab or golden retriever I'm not sure it would keep them from chewing their legs or feet

If they pull constantly it won't fall off. If they stop and sniff constantly, their legs might slip out. You can adjust it tightly though. I think it might not work on very small dogs. I got a medium for my beagle mix with shorter legs and it works great because she is always in front of me. I just make it really tight and it doesn't fall off when she stops to sniff

No, there is no traction as they are rubber and are smooth all the way around and a dog's nails can pierce the rubber quite easily. A better choice might be, Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boot. I bought those for one of my dogs as he gets skin infections through his feet very easily and they are proving to be great! I'm going to get another pair of their Rugged Dog Boots for my other dog who runs around quite a bit and has severely scrapped her pads to see if this works. I hope this helps you.

Yes :) It works well in the cold snow/ice/slush. Also works on feet in summer on hot pavement, sand or deck. We put it on our dogs feet in the winter a few times a week. It stays on well and with our Boston Terrier's they didn't like having boots on their paws. Also great at the beach in the hot sand. If they happened to go in the water and back out a few times we would just check to make sure their feet were still covered. In the summer we have the dogs out on our back deck but sometimes it gets to hot for their feet so we put this on them and it really works well. We also bought Snout soother as our Boston's nose gets all bumpy from a leaky nose when he gets allergies and I would recommend that as well if you were ever out looking for something that works well. Mushers is fantastic and I am glad I found it. I hope this helps.

Yes you can spray it on your hand or feet to keep dog from biting them but make sure to wash your hands because it stays on there.. I spray it on my hands when my dog likes to get mouthy

it might help keep your yorkie from nipping on people. Ours seemed to work the first week and then our dog got used to it and it doesn't seem to be a factor anymore.

This device does not cover or control the mouth of the dog, so I don't think it would prevent nipping. Instead it discourages the dog from pulling ahead on the leash.

Neither of my dogs try to lick it off. One is a lab, the other a labradoodle. It's been so cold here in Maine that we've started using "Hott Doggers- Boots for Dogs." They're great in snow and on salty sidewalks. I strap them on tightly and rarely have a problem. My dogs don't lift their paws like they used to when it is very cold out. Highly recommend.

I would ask your Vet. They may protect from sharp or rough item where she walks, but some of the comments indicated irritation caused by the boots. My dog did not experience any problem with the boots (120 pound German Shepard). I would be careful with the measurements - the ones I purchased I sized for Forrest's front paws (significantly larger than the rear). The straps allowed the rear to hold on OK. Dave

I got mine hoping it would keep my dog from pulling on the leash...It didn't work for me because it would get to tight on her neck...I'm not sure if it will keep your dog from climbing the fence wish I could be more helpful..

If you have a dog that chews, don't buy this, or a cat that scratches. I have bought 6 or more of these. Keep them out of traffic walkways because of the seams. But, my dogs use them. Aussie and border collie. I just bought another one from Bed and Bath.

Sorry to hear that! I'm not sure if this product will work.. it keeps them from biting their body well but they might could still scratch their face with their back paw. I'd say it's a coin flip. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I am going to be honest with you, my dog would not stop chasing the ball till I stop him, doing so he rip the skin close to the bone off! Since they cant bite the ball, they are forced to use there legs and lean into the ball, doing so it will remove skin. By the way he still has problems with his leg today. Anyways I keep looking for something that wont hurt your dog.. Merry Christmas to all. Tom

It will reduce the ability for any animal to cause injury. Because it is a thick fabric material a dogs claw may be able to "Rub" through the fabric is scratching hard enough, where as plastic collars will be more resistant to that. for Hind leg scratching to the face I would not recommended for front paws Yes I would...Good luck

I put it on Gidget feet prior to our outings and so far she hasn't attempt to lick it off. When we get back I have a hand towel that I rub her feet lightly as it also conditions the pads and keeps them from cracking.

Some dogs have a very dominant nature. Sometimes with this they will resist some of the training. Wearing gloves will help protect you from nipping and biting.

I don't think so. I live in NE PA & we've been getting very cold temps lately. My Chihuahua mix was more concerned with the rock salt than the cold. He doesn't seem to mind the cold on his paws as long as he's bundled up with heavy clothing. Lined booties are probably the only thing if your dog needs warmth for his paws.
